Bloon Crush

Bloon Crush turns the stun bomb into a late-game control tower. Each explosion deals 24 damage, switches to the normal damage type (so black bloons are no longer a problem), and has a larger blast. The stun now lasts 2 seconds and also hits MOAB-class bloons, which are pushed back by 5 units on each hit. With the Frag Bombs crosspath, it fires 16 frags that deal 36 damage with 21 pierce each.

When to buy it

Bloon Crush is one of the best stalling towers in the game. It stuns and knocks back every bloon type up to ZOMGs and DDTs, and its high pierce lets it handle almost every round until 100. It can serve as a win condition for rounds 81 to 99 in CHIMPS, or as a staller that buys time for abilities to recharge.

It is hard to save for in CHIMPS because Bloon Impact does not pop MOABs, so you need a mid-game carry while you build up cash.

• 5-2-0 is the preferred crosspath for more frequent, more consistent stuns.
• 5-0-2 adds heavy frag damage against groups.

Pair it with MOAB Eliminator, whose ability handles the BADs that Bloon Crush cannot lock down, and Striker Jones, whose buffs help on maps with several lanes.

Is it worth it?

Yes, if you want control. At $55,000 it is one of the most expensive primary tier 5s, but few towers can keep so many blimps in place. Compared with Bomb Blitz it offers constant stalling instead of a once-per-round safety net, and compared with MOAB Eliminator it is about crowd control rather than raw blimp damage. In Boss Events it is useful for stalling bloons while ability cooldowns refresh.
